[CENTER][IMG]User Posted Link

[B]Norwich City host Tottenham Hotspur at Carrow Road on Tuesday 27th December the 18th round of the 2011-12 Premier League season (17th game for Spurs).[/B]

Norwich come into the game in 9th place on 21 points, while Spurs are in 3rd place on 35 points.

This will be the 76th time the two teams have met.

Norwich City were founded in 1902 by three former Norwich Church of England Young Men's Society players. The club lost their amateur status in 1905 and joined the Southern League shortly afterwards.

The first meeting between Spurs and Norwich came in April 1906 in the Southern League and the East Anglian club won 4-1 at White Hart Lane. The reverse fixture at Newmarket Road was won by Spurs 3-0. Vivian Woodward scored three goals for Spurs against Norwich that season.

The clubs met for two further seasons in the Southern League, resulting in two wins for Norwich, a win for Spurs and a drawn match.

Spurs joined the Football League for season 1908-09 and the next meeting with Norwich came in the old second round (today's fourth round) of the FA Cup in January 1915 at "The Nest" in Rosary Road, resulting in a 3-2 win for the Canaries.

Four friendlies were played between 1916 and 1925 with Spurs winning two games, Norwich one and one drawn game.

The first Football League meeting between the two clubs came in the Second Division in December 1935 with Spurs winning 2-1 at the Lane, while Norwich won the reverse fixture 1-0 in April 1936 at their new home in Carrow Road.

The clubs met for a further three seasons in Division Two resulting in four wins for Spurs and two for Norwich.

During World War Two, Spurs & Norwich played two matches in the Football League South.

An FA Cup fifth round match in February 1959 ended in a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane and Norwich pulled-off a 'giant killing' act by beating Spurs 1-0 in the replay at Carrow Road.

The first meeting in the Top Flight of English Football came in October 1972 when a Martin Chivers goal at Carrow Road wasn't enough to prevent a 2-1 win for Norwich.

The clubs contested the 1973 Football League Cup Final at Wembley and a Ralph Coates goal was enough to bring the silverware to White Hart Lane.

Martin Chivers scored a brace in Tottenham's 3-1 win against Norwich in the reverse First Division fixture at the Lane a week later.

The clubs met regularly in Division One from season 1973-74 to 1991-92 with honours being generally even.

Both Spurs and Norwich were founder members of the Premier League in 1992-93, but the Canaries lost their top flight status after the 1994-95 season and returned for one season in 2004-05. Spurs won 5 of the 8 Premier League matches played with Norwich winning once and two drawn games.

The most recent match between the clubs came in a pre-season friendly at Carrow Road in July 2008 with Darren Bent scoring four goals in a 5-1 Spurs win.

During the summer, Norwich City signed Spurs defender Kyle Naughton on a season's loan.

Overall, Spurs have won 33, Norwich have won 22 and 20 of the 75 matches between the two clubs have been drawn.
